Interactive Assessment
Lecture halls are designed to hold hundreds of students. Historically it has been very difficult for lecturers to get a realistic assessment of how well students have understood their lecture.
That’s where TurningPoint™, Turning Technologies' interactive response system, can help. Already used in universities throughout the country, TurningPoint is fast becoming the UK’s most popular interactive response system.
Increases Participation
TurningPoint is more than a voting system. It actively engages all students in the lecture making learning a more interactive and collaborative experience. It enables you to get inside the heads of hundreds of your students at the same time. You can instantly and accurately gauge their understanding of the lecture by simply asking questions and receiving their replies. This instant feedback enables lecturers to adapt their style or pace to ensure key points are more easily understood.
Reaching The Silent Minority
Capturing the voice of the ‘invisible student’ whilst protecting their sensitivity, used to be an almost impossible task. Now lecturers can poll the views of students who may be otherwise reluctant by using TurningPoint in anonymous mode.
Aids Exam Preparation
Lecturers can use TurningPoint to test students formally or informally in preparation for an exam. The results will identify the strengths and weaknesses of each student, allowing the lecturer to provide students with more accurate feedback. Even if a lecturer has hundreds of students to access, TurningPoint makes this task both possible and easy.
Scalable Solution
TurningPoint works with Powerpoint and is very easy to use. It works well with small seminar groups, yet is powerful enough to cope with a group of 200 students using the same intuitive interface.
